Clin Infect Dis Jan 1;48(1):1-12 A Global concern of antimicrobial resistance *Emergence and spread of new mechanisms of resistance * Antimicrobial misuse Drug regulation Human and animal antimicrobial misuse * No new antimicrobials in the development pipeline * Cycle: antimicrobial use resistance antimicrobial use

3 The ecological phenomenon of resistance Resistance in commensal and pathogenic organisms reservoirs for resistant genes Dissemination of resistant bacteria and mobile genetic elements Koike et al.

4 Burden and outcomes of infections with multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria in the EU, Iceland and Norway Human burden Infections (6 most frequent MDR bacteria, 4 main types of infection) approx. 400,000 / year Attributable deaths approx. 25,000 / year Extra hospital days approx. 2.5 million / year Economic burden Extra in-hospital costs Productivity losses approx. 900 million / year approx. 600 million / year Limitation: these are underestimates.

8 Critically important antimicrobials for human medicine 1) Antimicrobial agent is used as sole therapy or one of few alternatives to treat serious human disease. 2) Antimicrobial agent is used to treat diseases caused by either: (1) organisms that may be transmitted via non-human sources or (2) diseases causes by organisms that may acquire resistance genes from non-human sources. Serious disease: one that if left untreated are likely to result in irreversible morbidity or mortality Evidence for link of transmission is highest for Enterococcus, E. coli, S. aureus, Salmonella spp., Campylobacter spp. (and environmental sources) Organisms that cause disease need not be resistant at present; however, the potential for transmission shows the path for acquisition now or in the future" Critically Important antimicrobials for human medicine. WHO. 3 rd revision. 2011

9 Critically important antimicrobials for human medicine Prioritizing strategies to preserve their effectiveness in human medicine. Ensuring that critically important antimicrobials are included in antimicrobial susceptibility monitoring programmes. Refining and prioritizing risk profile and hazard analysis activities for interventions by species or by region. Developing risk management options such as restricted use, labelling, limiting or prohibiting extra-label use, and making antimicrobial agents available by prescription only. For the development of prudent use and treatment guidelines in humans and animals. To direct special research projects to address prevalence data gaps on existing or potential future CIAs.

20 Perspectives Need for well-performed studies documenting transmission Need for good surveillance of AMR in animals Control options for misuse in animal husbandry "When a new class of drug comes on the market, it should be considered critically important unless strong evidence suggests otherwise "Existing drugs e.g. carbapenems, linezolid, and daptomycin, not currently used in food production, should not be used in the future in animals, plants, or in aquaculture. Critically Important antimicrobials for human medicine. WHO. 3 rd revision. 2011

21 Key points in creating a response to Question 2 1. Modified terminology: "limited therapy for" necessary for 1. Broaden clinical indications in which antibiotics are used 2. Need for antibiotics in humans needs to be highlighted 3. Ensure that evidence-based data included for transmission 4. Highlight changes in epidemiology/new resistance mechanisms can be found in zoonotic bacteria (e.g. NDM in Salmonella spp.) 5. Need for good surveillance data for AMR in animals 6. Need for a gap analysis of alternatives before suggesting new antimicrobials 8. When a new class of drug comes on the market, it should be considered critically important unless strong evidence suggests otherwise Critically Important antimicrobials for human medicine. WHO. 3 rd revision. 2011
